Official Weekly Weigh-in

Well, it's official - I've now lost (more than) 4 stone!!

Inspired by my buddy MrsJohnson, here are my top ten reasons why it's great to lose weight:

10. Looking forward to going clothes shopping, rather than dreading it
9. Running around with my toddler without getting exhausted
8. Feeling healthier
7. Feeling much happier
6. Happily parading around in my underwear in front of my husband
5. Not spending the first five minutes after entering a room checking to see if I'm the fattest person in it
4. Enjoying all the compliments - I'll miss them when everyone gets used to the new me!
3. Not even have to look at those plus sizes anymore
2. Being the weight loss guru who all my friends, family and colleagues turn to for advice!
1. Just feeling like a "normal" person again

It's about time for another before/after comparison, so here's a before one, taken during the holiday that immediately preceded the start of my weight loss journey:



And here's a photo from last weekend:



I'm really looking forward to my reward facial this evening now that I've actually officially earned it! :)
